Jack Antonoff - I Wanna Get Better lyrics

[Verse 1] Hey, I hear the voice of a preacher from the back room Calling my name and I follow just to find you I trace the faith to a broken down television, and put on the weather And I've trained myself to give up on the past cause I frozen time between hearses and caskets Lost control when I panicked at the acid test I wanna get better [Verse 2] While my friends were getting high and chasing girls down parkway lines I was losing my mind cause the love, the love, the love, the love, the love That I gave wasted on a nice face In a blaze of fear I put a helmet on a helmet Counting seconds through the night and got carried away [Pre-Chorus] So now I'm standing on the overpa** screaming at the cars "Hey, I wanna get better!" [Chorus] I didn't know I was lonely 'til I saw your face I wanna get better, better, better, better I wanna get better I didn't know I was broken 'til I wanted to change I wanna get better, better, better, better I wanna get better [Verse 3] I go up to my room and there's girls on the ceiling Cut out their pictures and I chase that feeling Of an eighteen year old who didn't know what loss was Now I'm a stranger And I miss the days of a life still permanent Mourn the years before I got carried away [Pre-Chorus] So now I'm staring at the interstate screaming at myself "Hey, I wanna get better!" [Chorus] I didn't know I was lonely 'til I saw your face I wanna get better, better, better, better I wanna get better I didn't know I was broken 'til i wanted to change I wanna get better, better, better, better I wanna get better [Bridge] Cause I'm sleeping in the back of a taxi I'm screaming from my bedroom window Even if it's gonna k** me [Verse 4] Woke up this morning early before my family From this dream where she was trying to show me How a life can move from the darkness She said to get better So I put a bullet where I shoulda put a helmet And I crash my car cause I wanna get carried away [Pre-Chorus] That's why I'm standing on the overpa** screaming at myself "Hey, I wanna get better!" [Chorus] I didn't know I was lonely 'til I saw your face I wanna get better, better, better, better I wanna get better I didn't know I was broken 'til i wanted to change I wanna get better, better, better, better I wanna get better
